Trump Posts Bizarre Ranking of America’s Greatest Presidents
Photo Illustration by Victoria Sunday/The Daily Beast/Getty Images Donald Trump has unleashed his own bizarre personal ranking of former American presidents.
Unsurprisingly, Trump, 80, put himself at the top of the list as “The Greatest” of all time in his Thursday Truth Social post.
A generous Trump also declared former Presidents Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson to be “Great”, but not on his elite level.
FDR, who died the year before Trump was born, was the most recent president on his hand-picked “Great” list.
Trump then ranked other former presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, as “Near Great,” with Bill Clinton scoring “Average” and the “Below Average” list featuring Calvin Coolidge.
His list of ex-president “Failures” included regular Democratic foes Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Jimmy Carter, and two Republican leaders, Ulysses S.
Grant and Warren Harding.
Trump attended Carter’s state funeral last year.
However, Trump’s selective hierarchical classification left some notable presidential absences.
No-shows on his Truth Social list included John F.
Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Harry S.
Truman, Gerald Ford, William Henry Harrison, James A.
Garfield, Dwight D.
